Because the abundance of dairy and starch instructed in the recipe was not gluttonous enough for my liking, I added 1/2c cream cheese and a couple cloves of diced garlic to the mix. These potatoes are a heart attack waiting to happen. But, SO WORTH IT!

This meal put a smile on my face. I'm still battling the bodily invaders attempting to stake claim to my lungs. And, I'm not getting a ton done in the meantime. Who knew rest and recuperation required so much energy? I've got a full belly, and it's my bedtime! Later gators.
